Victims can strike back


School bullies
can now be grassed up anonymously, thanks to a Web site being set up in Utah.

The site protects the victim’s identity but allows teachers to know which little toe rag is doing the bullying.  It is designed to prevent the "snitch" label that makes kids too frightened to report bullying.

The site was created by Brigham Young University student, Justin Bergener.  It also lets them post information about thefts, drugs and other harassment.

Bergener hopes students who might otherwise be too scared or shy to speak up will be willing to post on the site. Nearly 50 schools in other states are also using the Web site, which tips off school administrators by e-mail or SMS.

Some schools insist that students have to create a logon and password to send a tip, but they still remain anonymous.
